A Faithful Servant
Good morning.
Scripture reading: Daniel 3
Worship song: Still
Meditation:
Daniel chapter 3 demonstrates an act of faith displayed by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Despite the evil, vindictive propaganda of those plotting against them, the three Hebrew boys did not let that stop their worship. They were not afraid of their enemy's evil conspiracy. They knew they served a faithful, promise-keeping God. The plots and schemes planned by those with evil intentions backfired. God delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the jaws of death. The problem most Christians encounter today is due mostly to a lack of faith. We have not tested and proven God's power, so we cannot endure the test of time.
If God be for us, who can be against us? Psalms 91:5-6 reminds us not to be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Whenever you are faced with a problem that is weighing heavily on your heart, it is time to fast and pray more earnestly. Do not be overcome by the spirit of fear; put your trust and faith in God Almighty.
Let us pray:
All-powerful Sovereign God of the universe, the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the God who parted the Red Sea, help us to
remain faithful, steadfast, and grounded in you, knowing that no matter our
situation, you will show up at the right time. Almighty God, many times we
failed to trust you, but I pray, Lord God, that the next time the enemy comes
upon us, we will not fear because you have all the ammunition to defeat him and
his cohorts of darkness. Father, I pray we will not be distracted by the chaos
around us but that we will hold steadfast, remain faithful and committed, and
trust you, King Jesus, no matter what befalls us. Empower us, Almighty God, to
live our lives for You, worship and praise You, no matter what obstacles or
challenges we encounter. Lord, be our tour guide as we press on in the name of
Jesus Christ, the son of righteousness. Amen.
Keep safe. ✌💕🙏
Great is thy faithfulness blessings.
